Full results and season standings

Congrats to @Kgffy for the win for Week 3. It took us a few weeks and there were plenty of mechanical issues.

Best of luck to everyone going in to the final race this week.

I'm not on a 56k modem so I would hope so.

I called them last night to ask wth happened, but the wait time was 'longer than one hour' so I hung up

Well keep at it. We need you back on track.

@Kgffy as the winner of week 3 you get to choose some tracks for the classic DTC event that will be held on 3/22. Since it has been a while I think it is time to really mix them up. With that in mind you get to choose 4 tracks which will make up one of the three groups. Let me know your picks

Ok cool, are there any tracks picked yet

Just the qualifying track - Silverstone GP

 

[kendawg]

Confirmed

 

[Schmiggz]

Miggeez will be there but, if connection issues delays the starting of the race beyond 10.15, I will have to abandon the event because I have to wake up really early on mondays.

Do we have any photographers in the group? It would be really cool to start getting some photos of the action!

 

[WhiterunGuard]

Just ran the KOQ and learned a few things...

1. After three laps I ended up having a 3 on my rear left and 4 on the right.
2. I hate qualifying.
3. My later laps ended up being slower but I stayed on track more...I'm not sure how this works, must be drift magic.
   
4. Whoever doesn't wreck once is going to win.
5. I really hate qualifying
6. I could only manage a 2:29.186 while qualifying, which I hate doing.

I'll give it a go. Haven't done it in a while.

Take it easy. Throttle control is key. Take some practice laps first before qualifying. I had 7 on all tires before qualifying time expired. I thought is was going to slow but I really wasn't. Slow is fast. Just take it easy. You can do it!👍

 

[WhiterunGuard]

Yes...I can...I'll try driving easier on Sunday...until then I've found that SS's work great for drifting on that car...on the note of throttle control I've got enough of that due to my practice of running 400-500 hp cars on snow tires on the 'Ring.

Edit: Ask these guys...I've slowly begun to drive without drifting, I'm getting there but it'll take a while.

Great thing about this week is you do not need to worry about your time. As a top 8 driver all you need to do is confirm you will be there Sunday

 

[WhiterunGuard]

Placing 8/8 is still top 8....

Spoiler

m8....sorry...and yes I'll be there.

 

[jobyone]

I'll give it a go. Haven't done it in a while.

👍

Just need one more!

 

[jobyone]

Oh well.

 

[jobyone]

Doh Way off.

 

[jobyone]

If you are a top 8 driver don't forget to confirm if you will be racing this Sunday.

Everyone else better set a qualifying time. We have 17 drivers vying for 16 spots!

 

[jobyone]

Just a reminder to

@GGGMotorsport
@dylansan
@Zii1993

[socalnatv]

I was unable to set up this week, but I do plan on jumping on tomorrow, as well as racing on Sunday.
I'm hoping it will happen, but unsure as of now.

No point given my current connection issues. I therefore am withdrawing from all online rooms/lobbies until further notice.
